Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera technology for cutting machines, specifically a dual-camera structure for lace cutting. Background Technology

[0002] Lace is widely used in the production of various garments and decorative accessories. Generally, lace is cut using a laser cutting machine. Specifically, during the cutting process, a camera positioned above the cutting space of the laser cutter photographs the lace within that space. The image is then transmitted to a controller, which identifies and analyzes the captured image to generate a result. Based on this analysis, the controller then controls the cutting head within the cutting space to cut the lace.

[0003] However, in the traditional method, the camera of the laser cutting machine is set on the top wall of the cutting space. That is, the camera is fixed to the top wall of the cutting space. This method has two inconveniences: First, the shooting space of a single camera is limited (some relatively edge areas cannot be captured), resulting in a small cutting range. Second, the cutting space is closed, making it troublesome to install and remove the camera. It needs to be installed and removed inside the cutting space, and it is inconvenient to adjust after installation, resulting in low flexibility. Utility Model Content

The front wall of the frame 1 has a window 12 communicating with the cutting space. It should be understood that the lace fabric enters the cutting space through the feed port 11, and the cut lace fabric exits through the discharge port. Workers can observe the cutting status of the lace fabric through the window 12, and can also make corresponding adjustments or inspections within the cutting space.

[0030] Furthermore, the top wall of the frame 1 is provided with a first opening 13 and a second opening 14 that communicate with the cutting space.

[0031] The first camera 5 is mounted in the first opening 13 on the top wall of the frame 1 via the first mounting bracket 2. In other words, the first camera 5 can photograph the lace fabric in the cutting space through the first opening 13.

[0032] The second camera 6 is mounted in the second opening 14 on the top wall of the frame 1 via the second mounting bracket 3. In other words, the second camera 6 can photograph the lace fabric in the cutting space through the second opening 14.

[0033] It is understandable that the first camera 5 and the second camera 6 can take pictures of the cut area when the cutting machine cuts the lace fabric. The two cameras can capture a larger area within the cutting space of the frame 1 than a single camera can capture many areas that are not easily seen, thus increasing the cutting range of the cutting head.

[0034] It should be understood that since the first camera 5 is mounted on the top wall of the frame 1 via the first mounting bracket 2 and the second camera 6 is mounted on the top wall of the frame 1 via the second mounting bracket 3, that is, both the first camera 5 and the second camera 6 are mounted on the top wall of the frame 1, the installation and removal of the first camera 5 and the second camera 6 are relatively convenient. They can be operated on the top wall of the frame 1 without having to operate on the top wall of the cutting space, which is more efficient.

[0035] Multiple light guide plate structures 4 are spaced apart on the top wall of the cutting space, with LED lights positioned above the light guide plate structures 4. It should be understood that when the LED lights are lit, they illuminate the light guide plate structures 4, which in turn distribute the light evenly, making the light reaching the cutting space more uniform.

[0036] Preferably, the first camera 5 is height-adjustable in the first mounting bracket 2, and the second camera 6 is height-adjustable in the second mounting bracket 3. It should be understood that the height-adjustable first camera 5 and second camera 6 allow the actual shooting range of the cameras to be freely expanded or reduced, and the distance can be adjusted as needed, making the cameras more flexible when shooting fabrics.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first mounting frame 2 includes a first support plate 21, a first lifting plate 22, and a first clamping plate 23.

[0038] One side of the first support plate 21 is set at the edge of the first opening 13 on the top wall of the frame 1 by a threaded connection. The other side of the first support plate 21 extends to provide a first vertical plate 211 that is set vertically upward. The first vertical plate 211 is provided with a first sliding groove 2111 along the vertical direction.

[0039] The first lifting plate 22 is slidably disposed within the first sliding groove 2111. The first lifting plate 22 is provided with a first mounting member 221 for mounting the first camera 5, and the first mounting member 221 is detachably connected to one side of the first lifting plate 22, allowing the first camera 5 to be detachably mounted between the first mounting member 221 and the first lifting plate 22. It should be understood that a first clamping groove for holding the first camera 5 is formed between the first mounting member 221 and the first lifting plate 22, and the first mounting member 221 is connected to the first lifting plate 22 via a threaded connection.

[0040] The first clamping plate 23 is connected to the first lifting plate 22 by a threaded connection, wherein the first clamping plate 23 and the first lifting plate 22 are clamped outside the first vertical plate 211.

[0041] Preferably, the first lifting plate 22 is provided with a first threaded hole 222, and the first clamping plate 23 is provided with a second threaded hole corresponding to the first threaded hole 222, wherein a first screw is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 222 and the second threaded hole, and the first screw passes through the first slide groove 2111.

[0042] It is understandable that the first camera 5 can be raised or lowered manually by raising or lowering the position of the first lifting plate 22.

[0043] In this embodiment, the second mounting bracket 3 includes a second support plate 31, a second lifting plate 32, and a second clamping plate 33.

[0044] One side of the second support plate 31 is set at the edge of the second opening 14 on the top wall of the frame 1 by a threaded connection. The other side of the second support plate 31 extends to provide a second vertical plate 311 that is set vertically upward. The second vertical plate 311 is provided with a second sliding groove 3111 along the vertical direction.

[0045] The second lifting plate 32 is slidably disposed within the second sliding groove 3111. The second lifting plate 32 is provided with a second mounting member 321 for mounting the second camera 6, and the second mounting member 321 is detachably connected to one side of the second lifting plate 32, allowing the second camera 6 to be detachably mounted between the second mounting member 321 and the second lifting plate 32. It should be understood that a second clamping groove for holding the second camera 6 is formed between the second mounting member 321 and the second lifting plate 32, and the second mounting member 321 is connected to the second lifting plate 32 via a threaded connection.

[0046] The second clamping plate 33 is connected to the second lifting plate 32 by a threaded connection, wherein the second clamping plate 33 and the second lifting plate 32 are clamped outside the second vertical plate 311.

[0047] Preferably, the second lifting plate 32 is provided with a third threaded hole 322, and the second clamping plate 33 is provided with a fourth threaded hole corresponding to the third threaded hole 322. A second screw is threadedly connected to the third threaded hole 322 and the fourth threaded hole, and the second screw passes through the second slide groove 3111.

[0048] It is understandable that the second camera 6 can be raised or lowered manually by raising or lowering the position of the second lifting plate 32.

[0049] Preferably, the first camera 5 has two light guide plate structures 4 on each side, and the second camera 6 has two light guide plate structures 4 on each side. It should be understood that the light guide plate structures 4 on both sides of the camera can illuminate the area that the camera needs to capture, thereby allowing the camera to monitor the cutting of the lace fabric more clearly.

[0050] Preferably, the multiple light guide plate structures 4 are all arranged on the same horizontal plane.

[0051] In this embodiment, the light guide plate structure 4 includes a first mounting block 41, a second mounting block 42, and a light guide plate 43. The first mounting block 41 and the second mounting block 42 are spaced apart on the top wall of the cutting space by means of threaded connection. The light guide plate 43 is disposed between the first mounting block 41 and the second mounting block 42. The LED light is disposed in the top wall of the cutting space corresponding to the light guide plate 43.

[0052] Preferably, the light guide plate 43 is rectangular, wherein the bottom end of the first mounting block 41 is provided with a rectangular first slot 411 facing the side of the second mounting block 42, and the bottom end of the second mounting block 42 is provided with a rectangular second slot 421 facing the side of the first mounting block 41, and the light guide plate 43 is disposed between the first slot 411 and the second slot 421.

[0053] Furthermore, the distance between the first card slot 411 and the second card slot 421 is equal to the length of the light guide plate 43.

[0054] In other words, when the light guide plate 43 has a problem or requires routine maintenance, the light guide plate 43 can be easily removed from the first mounting block 41 and the second mounting block 42 by pushing the light guide plate 43 out of the first mounting slot 411 and the second mounting slot 421 for maintenance or replacement. The cost of maintenance and replacement is also relatively low.

[0055] In this embodiment, the front sidewall of the frame 1 is provided with a first receiving groove 121 and a second receiving groove 122 located above and below the window 12. The dual-camera structure also includes a door 7, which is slidably disposed in the first receiving groove 121 and the second receiving groove 122.

[0056] Furthermore, a first slide rail is provided in the first receiving groove 121, and a second slide rail is provided in the second receiving groove 122. A first slider 1211 is slidably disposed in the first slide rail, and a second slider 1221 is slidably disposed in the second slide rail. The door body 7 is connected to the first slider 1211 and the second slider 1221 respectively.

[0057] It is understandable that when the lace fabric is being cut inside the frame 1, the staff can slide the door 7 to one side to expose the window 12, allowing the staff to conduct close-up manual inspection. After the lace is cut, the cut lace can be directly taken out through the window 12 for random inspection, etc., so that the lace cutting process can be monitored more comprehensively.

[0058] It is worth noting that the controller, light guide plate 43, first camera 5, second camera 6 and LED light in this application can all be implemented using products in the prior art, and their principles and internal structures will not be described in detail here.

[0059] It should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
